Gary Grigsby's World at War

Axis and Allies, but WAY better.

User Rating: 9 | Gary Grigsby's World at War PC

Real quick, 'cause I'm no writer. This is like "Super Axis and Allies". Symbols, movement rules, advanced research for weapons, the map - the "concept". If you have played Axis and Allies you will be right at home - but that is just the start. A lot more depth has been added and it is that much more fun to play. It is not that it is hard to learn - it's simple - just a lot of new stuff to become aware of. Nothing in the game ad's or manual, etc says anything about Axis & Allies (I mean the original board and PC game, not the latest release that did so badly) - that's just my take on it, OK? Bottom line: It's a way fun "beer & pretzles" game that is easy to learn but is deep enouf to keep your interest fot the next 900 times you play it. Should be one of the top 10 games of the year.

  This is a very enjoyable strategy game with complexity and detail on par with the Panzer General series, but on a global scale. It's a reasonable step up in difficulty from Axis & Allies, but not nearly as demanding as ... Read Full Review
